[olu]

hi all , please need help on creating a alpha-numeric check on password field, to ensure when users create their passwords it contain numbers and characters

Hallo Olu,

If you have StrigTheory there is a method "Random" that will do exactly what you need.

Olu,

If you don't have and don't want to wait:

loop x# = 1 to len(clip(password))
  if instring(password[x#],'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890',1,1)
    cycle
  else
    !Fail Code
  end

Cheers

If you haven't realized, you will need to tweak Char's code a bit as it checks the pw only contains numbers *or* letters but not both.

Hi Kevin,

I am not so sure about that, it does not check for SPACES but it certainly check for characters _and_ numbers.

I agree it checks for characters and numbers but maybe I misunderstood his original post as I thought he wanted to check the password contained *both* eg AAA111 not AAAAAA
